Private safari on the Nambiti plains

From rich grassland and riverine forest to rough thornveld strewn with waterfalls fed by the Sundays River, Nambiti Private Reserve offers a varied scenery.  Just 2.5 hours from Durban and 3 hours from Johannesburg, this 8,900ha Big 5 game reserve and the understated pleasures of the boutique Nambiti Plains Private Game Lodge are conveniently situated.

 Apart from the Big 5, Nambiti is home to 40 more species of game; cheetah, hippo, and giraffe among them.  The varied terrain of the reserve draws several bird species, including raptors and vultures.  Spend an evening looking at the sparkling night sky or cast a line in the Sundays River.

 Enjoy a sundowner at the bar or take a swim in the main lodge pool—sometimes misused by nearby elephants as a waterhole.  Drums will call people to a meal under the stars or in the comfortable dining room.  With individual observation terraces, Nambiti Lodge boasts seven opulent apartments.  Ideal for couples and families vacationing together, the Family apartments are two individual apartments sharing a common area.
